buon appetito recipe

Sure, here’s a classic Italian recipe for “Spaghetti alla Carbonara” to wish you a “Buon Appetito!”

Ingredients:

• 400g spaghetti
• 200g guanciale (or pancetta), diced
• 4 large eggs
• 100g Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• Salt, to taste
• Olive oil (optional)

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the spaghetti is cooking, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced guanciale or pancetta and cook until crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with most of the grated Pecorino Romano cheese (reserve some for serving) and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper.
4. Once the spaghetti is cooked, reserve a cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the spaghetti and immediately transfer it to the skillet with the cooked guanciale or pancetta. Toss well to coat the spaghetti with the rendered fat.
5. Remove the skillet from heat, then quickly pour the egg and cheese mixture over the hot spaghetti, stirring vigorously to combine. The heat from the spaghetti will cook the eggs and create a creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little pasta cooking water to thin it out.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with the remaining grated Pecorino Romano cheese and an extra sprinkle of black pepper. Enjoy your Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Buon Appetito!
